A scene from "Les Miserables." Costume design by Paco Delgado.
Delgado's inspiration for the film's costumes included the works of Eugene Delacroix and Francisco de Goya, mixing historical accuracy with surrealism to represent characters of every social strata -- rich and poor, criminals and the law, sacred and profane. "Because this is a musical, and that's an unreal situation in life, we had to put some fantasy into it," said Delgado.
